| Description | Complexity represents an expansion of systems thinking in recent years. Complex systems are difficult to synthesize because they have nontrivial relationship between cause and effect. They may have feedback loops both positive and negative. Cause-effect chains may be highly entangled rather than linear and entangled. Complex systems may have many elements that may have stochastic components. Time-varying and stochastic interactions are dominant features of complex systems. These interactions may be between humans and machines or among physical elements of the system. Managing complexity is one of the key aspects of systems architecting. Establishing clean interfaces, which minimize interaction between components, is a critical skill in the architecting process. The following rules are helpful in architecting a complex system: The system should have as few components as possible. The design should have as few interfaces as possible. Finally, the interfaces should be as deterministic as possible. Book Name: Systems Approach to the Design of Commercial Aircraft |
